It is a pleasure to inform you that the new version of the Solr search server has been released. It is the next release from the 9.x branch and it is numbered 9.8.
Some of the changes introduced in Solr 9.8:
- Solr cross data center feature graduated into a main Solr feature!
- A give request may now be limited when it comes to the amount of memory it can use using the memAllowed parameter.
- The lib tags in solrconfig.xml are now silently ignored unless you include the SOLR_CONFIG_LIB_ENABLED environment variable set to true.
- A new parser called knn_text_to_vector was added allowing to calculate text embeddings using external LLMs.
